Been feeling out the NBA action and done OK lately, haven't been able to get it posted here before the games start but here goes
Bulls +11
Bulls +15 / Miami of Ohio, Ohio OVER 55
right now slight lean to the Bulls Pels over 229, i'm thinking this is a 119 -112 game but we'll see what happens with the total and spread between now and tip off.
The Pelicans have lost 5 or 6 straight, Anthony Davis been banged up, the Pels need to get on track and should win this game but when you have two sub .500 teams and one is laying double digits I think taking the points is a good play. Bulls have only lost 3 games by double digits this year - one to the Warriors when Klay thompson went nuclear, @ the Hornets (outscored by 15 second half and was a home and home where they won the night before in CHI), and first game of the season @ Philly. A second half meltdown is always a concern with bad teams (ahem, Hawks last night at charlotte, still covered 11.5 though). I'll probably be on Bulls fh, game, and if need to watch a live line of Pels at -5 if needed.
For football i was surprised at the -4.5 on Ohio, I was initially thinking I'd be able to swoop in and get a TD w/ Miami of Ohio at home, but no such luck. I'll wait and see what happens, I think it's a competitive game and will come down to a late touchdown. Miami teaser of 10.5 / 11 and the over will most likely be the play, or Miami ATS w/ the points.
